Hello! My name is Toccora Ervin, and I'm a mother, an entrepreneur, and a student of psychology. But before all that, I was just a mom watching her son, Ty, suffer from a relentless battle with eczema.

​

          His skin was constantly itching, dry, and flaking. I felt powerless as he would claw at the dry, inflamed patches on his arms and legs. It was agonizing to watch him suffer, and it was devastating to see his confidence and joy fade. The relentless cycle of "Don't scratch!" took a toll on both of us, and I was determined to find a solution. I made a promise to my son and myself: this had to stop.

​

          My journey began with research, mixing, and an unwavering belief in the power of nature. I replaced harsh, store-bought lotions with pure, raw butters and switched out drying perfumes for soothing essential oils with a purpose. I was no longer just treating a skin condition; I was creating a ritual of comfort and care.

​

          The first "Ooh Yes" moment came when my son finally slept through the night. I'll never forget the relief I felt when he could play without distraction, when the sting of sweat no longer caused him pain. The sun was no longer an enemy to be avoided. I had finally found a way to not just soothe his skin, but to restore his happiness. I had done it!

​

Over the next eight years, I shared my eczema treatment cream with family and friends who were also plagued by sensitive skin. I saw their "Ooh Yes" moments of relief and comfort, and I knew I had to share this with others.

​

That's how Ooh Yes Derma Essentials was born. It's more than just a name; it's the core of our brand. "Ooh Yes" is the emotional, feel-good moment you experience when your skin is calm and your mind is at ease. "Derma Essentials" are the purposeful, natural ingredients that make those moments possible.

​

This business is a testament to my journey from feeling powerless to empowered. My studies in psychology have only deepened my understanding of the profound connection between our skin and our emotional well-being. We believe that caring for your skin is an act of self-care and a path to finding peace.

​

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey toward health, happiness, and finding your own Ooh Yes Moment.
